This would be for things like building the server, which runs in a terminal, and for svn updates, which are often glacial.

I assume someone's already told you you'll be better off with Git?

Not necessarily true. git and svn are suited to slightly different applications. For one thing - sometimes you want One Source of Truth... which svn gives you, and git does not.

If you have a central git repository to which all contributors have write privileges, you can treat it a lot like a svn-style centralized VCS that just happens to be git. Is there a significant advantage of svn over this kind of git setup?
